PUBLIC NOTICE
Raphah Ministries will Continue....
Following the recent passing of our beloved founder, Dr/Pastor Gerd D. Luus, Raphah Ministries remains steadfast in its God-given calling as an alms ministry, continuing to extend practical care, counselling, outreach, missionary services and compassion to those in need throughout Newcastle and the surrounding communities within a 37-km radius, just as it has faithfully done for the past 18 years.
While some aspects of our ministry may be adjusted in light of Dr/Pastor Gerd D. Luus' passing, our core mission and services will continue. Where necessary, trusted pastors and ministry partners will assist in providing certain services to ensure that the ministry continues to serve our community with excellence and integrity.
Pastor Sonja Luus (co-founder) will now continue leading and managing the ministry with faith, dedication and the support of Raphah's Executive Board.
We humbly ask for your continued prayers, encouragement and support.
If you feel led to partner with Raphah Ministries through your time, resources, practical assistance or financial giving, you will be helping us continue reaching lives, caring for those in need and building God's Kingdom in our community.
Together, we will continue the ministry and carry the vision forward - Serving Our Community, as God is Faithful."
